How To Prepare For Your Baby's First Bath
August 22nd, 2014Congratulations on the newest member of your family! It's the most exciting time for any mother (especially if this is your first child) to discover and experience a few firsts with your baby: coming home for the first time, the first feeding, the first changing, the first sleepless hour, and, of course, the first bath. Chances are you have heard so much about this intimate ritual from relatives, friends and your readings that when the time comes you are most often surprised that each baby is unique and hard rules rarely apply. It is up to you to figure out what works for both of you and what advice to skip on.
We have, however, selected the few basic tips that seemingly apply to all first baby baths. These do not depend on your baby's particular personality, but are rather technicalities that you should familiarize yourself with. After all, the first bathing is not up for too many experiments, but you should, above all, remember to enjoy the fresh bond you are forming with your child in those precious moments.
Test the waters
Babies' skin is so tender and sensitive that it is essential to ensure their comfort by adjusting the temperature of both the air and the water. Turn up the heat in the bathing room to a comfortable 75 to 80 degrees and fill in your sink or tub with pleasantly warm water. It's a good idea to test the temperature with your elbow which is more sensitive than your fingers. Remember not to fill in a baby's bathing tub with the baby already inside. Run the water while your baby is still in the crib and come back together when it's already full.
Slide your baby in and soap up sparingly
Slide the child gently and slowly into the warm water, feet first. It is important to use the right products at this stage. The baby bathing product industry is so advanced nowadays that there are numerous tear-free shampoos and gentle pH-balanced soaps and wash gels. Don't wash the hair at every bathing – once or twice a week is enough. Lather up (actually, soap up is more appropriate as you should use only a few drops of product) from the top down, leaving the grimiest parts for last.
The washing routine
Massage each area with the tops of your fingertips, including the top of the head where the spot is still soft. Don't worry about breaking your baby's head, it is not possible as long as you use gentle movements. Wipe the eyes and the outside of the ears with a damp washcloth (never use Q-tips for your baby's ear cleaning routine). Be especially tender with the baby's private area and use a damp washcloth.
The drying routine
Don't use a coarse towel to dry the baby's skin since their skin is not like an adult's. Use a bath sheet instead. There is no need to invest in expensive sets, a cheap Bath Sheet works fine as long as it is 100% cotton and naturally dyed. Finally, did you know that the first color that babies recognise is yellow? Get a yellow bath sheet to make your baby happy and gently pat, don't rub the sensitive skin.

.- The Apostolic Nuncio in Venezuela, Archbishop Giacinto Berlocco, said this week the Church does not endorse political parties and that the statements by Cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara "reflect a personal opinion to which he has a right just as any other citizen of this country."
"The Catholic Church is not aligned with any political party and….her principal mission is to attend to the needs of the people," the archbishop told reporters.
He noted that Cardinal Castillo Lara has "his reasons for acting that way, but he does not represent the Church as he has not been officially given any task in this sense."
On the other hand, the nuncio emphasized that there was no reason to characterize the relationship between the Church and the state as one of confrontation. "The Church favors the people," he continued, and in this sense "there are many points of convergence" with the government.
According to media reports, Cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara recently called upon the opposition to disavow the government of Hugo Chavez and to organize peaceful acts of civil disobedience in accord with the law.

DVD CCA Part II - Waiting For The Judge
Re:Welcome! (320 comments)
For the usual breed of Slashdot troller, indeed good suggestions.
However, we are disappointed with the recent lack in originality or artistic merit of Slashdot trollers. We aren't out to cause a ruckus or create massive off-topic threads, and we frown upon those less reputable trollers who do all-caps racial posts, rhyming threads, and the like.
As for AC posting, we appreciate your thoughts, but we are students and cannot troll every article; and due to the rigorous editing and thinking that goes into our trolls, we only accept the very best. Thus, at two articles a day or less, we will not hit the moderation lockout. And, we feel that the anonymity gives people license to troll without basis or thought, decreasing the quality of trolls.
We will be glad to submit some more work if it will ease our entrance into the noble family of Slashdot trollers.

How to find the cheapest 'low-cost' Sipp
Want to save for retirement? Fed up (or put off) by the high charges and poor performance of many of the traditional personal pensions out there?
A Sipp may be right for you. Here, we guide you through the market so you can find the very best deal about.
Low-cost pension: Sipps are the future of pensions - find the cheapest deal
Background: What is a Sipp?
Sipps or Self-Invested Personal Pensions to give them their full name are DIY pension schemes where investors can choose their own investments.
Originally created in the early Nineties to cater for extremely wealthy savers, a new no-frills version is revolutionising personal pensions.
Simple and inexpensive, the 'low-cost' Sipp has opened the market to middle-income investors looking to boost returns by going it alone.
- Why low-cost Sipps are the 'future' of pension saving
How does a Sipp work?
Low-cost Sipps are almost identical to the fund supermarkets used by Isa investors. In fact, the only difference is a pension tax 'wrapper' that means you don't pay income tax on contributions. For higher rate taxpayers on a rate of 40 per cent or even 50 per cent, this is very beneficial.
As with all pensions, the money cannot be withdrawn until age 55.
Is a Sipp right for me?
If you already have a fairly substantial investment Isa saver the short answer is probably 'yes', and especially if you're a higher-rate taxpayer. It's a less clear-cut issue if you only pay basic-rate tax, as your money is tied up for so long. A company pension may hold greater benefits, such as contributions from your employer.
One thing to watch out for is that Sipps come in very different shapes and sizes - from low cost to hybrid to bespoke - and with confusing charging structures.
Low-cost Sipps will suit the vast majority of pension savers, although some may find a personal pension a simpler option*. You'll have access to thousands of funds at reduced charges. It's then just a case of picking the right ones.
The key question to ask yourself is this: am I prepared to do the homework and regularly monitor my investments? Am I comfortable to live and die by my own investment decisions? If you can say yes to both, then you're doing the right thing.
Bespoke Sipps are for wealthy savers. They have higher charges because they allow a full range of HMRC-permissible investments, such as unlisted shares and commercial property. Hybrid Sipps fall somewhere in between. Read our article about spotting the differences between Sipps.
If want greater investment choice or you're unsure, we recommend you speak to a financial adviser. Find a well-qualified pensions adviser near you.
Top tips to find the cheapest Sipp
If you're confident enough to go it alone - and you have the funds to play with - then follow our guide to low-end plans where the provider does not offer advice. These are the questions you need to ask...
1. How much are annual fees on the funds?
These are the ongoing charges applied to funds that you put into your Sipp. It is the single most important thing to focus on: high annual charges create the worst drag on performance. Typically fund providers charge 1.5 per cent a year on actively managed fund. But often half of that fee goes to the Sipp provider. Some keep the lot, some hand back some - such as Bestinvest - and others will hand back all of it to you - such as Alliance Trust Savings. That can be worth an extra 0.75 per cent year, or a whopping £750 A YEAR on a £100,000 portfolio.
2. What is the set-up fee?
It's typically anything from nothing to £500.
3. What is the Sipp annual management fee?
This is a small percentage applied every year that will eat away at your returns. Avoid it if you have a large portfolio. More commonly, it is a flat fee. A fee-free plan is a good starting point but you might find it is cheaper in the long run to opt for a scheme that clearly levies a charge but hands back 'commission' to you that other Sipp providers choose to keep (see point 1).
Costly: The charges for buying and selling funds and shares vary greatly between Sipps
4. How much are initial charges on funds - Oeics and unit trusts?
These upfront fees are 5 per cent if invest via an IFA (to pay for the advice) - or if go direct to a fund manager (for no apparent reason). But a decent fund platform should give you back these fees. Check the discounts on the actual funds you're planning to buy by using providers' websites. Many of them won't always hand back the full initial charge.
5. How much are dealing charges on shares, ETFs and investment trusts? And does the provider charge you for holding these?
Hargreaves Lansdownm for instance, will charge 0.5 per cent on those holdings - although this is capped at a maximum of £200 a year. If you're not planning to hold any of these, you should think again. Research shows investment trusts are not only cheaper but offer better long-term average returns than Oeics and unit trusts [read more].
6. How much are the transfer fees?
These are charges applied for moving money, funds or shares into a Sipp from another provider. Also, check if there any exit fees on moving to another pension provider. These can range into the hundreds of pounds with some providers.
7. What rate of interest will I get?
Interest rates on cash left in a Sipp are pitiful varying from zero to 0.5 per cent. If you expect to keep some of your pension in cash, check what the rate is. For example, Fidelity currently pays one basis point below the UK bank rate.
8. What are the other charges?
Look out for the costs of buying an annuity, costs for paying out on death, etc. Remember that these one-off fees are less important than finding Sipps with cheap annual fees.
Leading low-cost Sipp providers
The best rule of thumb is to start with Sipp providers who do not charge either a set-up or annual management fee. These include:
Alliance Trust Select Sipp:
No minimum transfer and the minimum investment is £50. Transferring in to the select Sipp costs £50 plus VAT and there is an annual administration charge of £135 plus VAT and £12.50 to buy or sell shares OR fund online.
It makes its money by charging each time you invest - £12.50 per fund or stock or £1.50 a month for regular online savers. But even that dealing fee is reduced if you hold the Alliance Trust investment trust.
Pros: It rebates ALL commission payments on funds, dramatically reducing your costs and making your end pension pot far bigger than it would otherwise be. Even with the unusual fund dealing costs, those with decent size fund portfolios - say, growing to £50,000-plus - would find this option far cheaper than most rivals.
Cons: Its website is clunky and lacks the portfolio analysis tools available elsewhere. It also has a slightly smaller fund range than the biggest players, like Hargreaves, although it is a new player and the range is constantly expanding.
Hargreaves Lansdown Vantage Sipp:
Minimum transfer of £5,000 and a minimum investment of £50 a month or £1,000 lump sum. There is no annual fee.
Pros: It has efficient customer service and excellent online tools, especially portfolio analysis.
Cons: Annual charges are high, which may have a significant impact on your pension pot over the long term versus the Alliance option above. Hargreaves also charges 0.5 per cent on any investment trusts and shares you hold, capped at £200 a year.
Sippdeal.co.uk (AJ Bell): Free transfers in with no minimum investment. Online dealing starts at £4.95 if you make 10 trades a month or is otherwise £9.95. It also rebates some - but not all - annual commission charges, up to 0.5 per cent. This falls short of Alliance Trust.
Pros: It's great for frequent online share traders who hold a smaller proportion of their Sipp in funds.
Cons: It does not hand back the full commission on funds.
This is Money says:
Picking a winner is a hard call, because each providers listed above has benefits and drawbacks - each pension saver's needs will dictate the right choice for them. It's really important to do your own research and sums to see which fits the bill.
But as rule, the charges will be lowest - if you have a reasonable size Sipp - on a platform that rebates all commission.
If you're not bothered about the bells and whistles on a site like Hargreaves, Alliance Trust is easily the best option.
It rebates all initial charges on funds and ALL the marketing commission that funds pay to fund-selling platforms.
It makes its money by charging each time you invest - £12.50 per fund or stock or £1.50 a month for regular savers. But even that dealing fee is reduced if you hold the Alliance Trust investment trust.
Hargreaves Lansdown Vantage Sipp carries no set-up fee and no annual charge for providing the Sipp wrapper around mainstream funds. But it levies an annual charge of 0.5 per cent on other investments, such as individual shares and gilts, capped at £200 plus VAT a year.
Online share dealing fees range from £5.95 - if you've made 20 trades in the previous month - to £11.95.
Sippdeal from AJBell is the winner on pure share-trading front, charging £4.95 to £9.95 per deal. This includes ETFs and investment trusts, which work like shares.
Newly-launched Commfreefunds.com is similar to Alliance Trust in rebating all commission. For now it only offers Isas but will aims to offer a Sipp in 2012 in collaboration with Cofunds.

I like Shelfari too. I've tried alikewise but there aren't a great deal of people on there yet for it to have any hope of payoff for me yet.
I said Twitter because I've set it up to feed selective tweets into my Facebook. Therefore I can easily update both at the same time. I probably spend more actual TIME on Facebook and LiveJournal, but Twitter's the fastest one for me to use.
Have experimented with a bunch of the ones listed - but none do anything for me at the moment.
Definitely Identi.ca, but I use Facebook as well - partly as part of my job.

Strong earnings with secure cash flow. The price for nat gas in europe is 2X+ what we pay in the US and FXEN's price is controlled by the Polish gov. They have an aggressive drilling schedule with high profit targets. They have low debt and enough free cash flow to finance exploration efforts. Win- Win.
Extremely High Price for Sales
This producer's stock price taking such a tumble just as oil has hit $105, causes reevaluation of the oil vs. gas play. Seems there's more going on here than just a pullback from the recent runup.
Good growth and earnings.
seems like their production is ramping up this year
Watch this stock in the summertime, when their is a prediction for an oil inflation! $5.00 + skies the limit on this one!
this is an oil and gas exploration company, they are poised to grow a ton in the next couple months. Most of my investments have been in this sector and all have been doing extremely well.
They are using the most advanced geophysical and seismic technologies to find GAS in highly underdeveloped Poland. They have an experienced management team and good strategy I think for discovering gas in the large positions they have in acreage.
In a sweet spot with long term development in Poland, who must make it work. At the least play it between 6 and 10.
A energy play with summer driving pushing fuel prices up.
Got gas? FXEN does.
good team in place good place to invest
This stock is a pure exploration play, though the company is starting to show some cash flow. Excellent technical team in place....thinks Poland is the next North Sea. This is not a steady eddie stock, but as a speculative part of my portfolio, it is quite a good play.
FX Energy has valuable drilling rights in some productive oil and gas producing acreage in Poland. FX Energy is a very small company with little in the way of current production. However, I believe this is about to change. If they can drill some commercial wells, the market will quickly revalue the company's drilling rights to this acreage.
European natural gas play to offset russian dominance in the area, and specifically to take advantage of Polish nationalism.
Developing very lucrative oil fields in Poland. This should help Poland become more independant from import Oil.
Not an immediate fix but over the next 10 years they will be in very good shape and FXEN is there to profit hugely:)
the source of information
FX Energy has rights to land in Poland believed to contain Trillions of Cubic Feet (TCF) of natural gas by Richard Hardman, a member of FX Energy's board and discoverer of North Sea Oil.

The Serbian central bank sold 20 million euros ($26.13 million), supporting the weakening dinar for the third consecutive day.
The Belgrade-based Narodna Banka Srbije said it was acting against the dinar volatility, not its trend, according to a statement posted on its website. Earlier in the day three currency traders said the central bank's act was a sign it won't tolerate an exchange rate beyond 111 dinars to the euro.
The central bank began selling the common currency after the dinar dropped to 111.2515 to the euro in morning trade. It set the dinar rate for tomorrow at 110.9035 to the euro.
The National Bank of Serbia has spent 305.5 million euros since the start of 2012 to prop up the dinar, which some analysts see declining by 10 percent in 2012 as capital inflows dry. It has lost 5 percent since early February.

I just got my RLS-1 in. Basically it is a pretty nice little guitar for a very small price. The workmanship on the headstock cutouts is pretty crude...but doesn't affect the playing of the instrument and could be smoothed out pretty easily if it bothers you. Basically the inside of the cutouts is just not finished out smoothly. The tuners seem a little rough, but they work ok and hold tune. The strings that come on the instrument are basically useless. They appear to be a very light gauge set of guitar strings, and are way too loose for steel playing. I replaced them immediately with a set of C6 strings I put together. Smallest string is .015 as opposed to the one on it which was probably a .009 or .010 or so. To be honest, due to the shorter than normal scale on the guitar, even these are a little loose. I may go up a gauge or two with the first three strings when I re-string it next time. For now, it will do. The scale on this guitar is about 3/4 inch shorter than the more common 22.5 inches of many steel guitars. The string spacing is also a little narrower than what is becoming a pretty much standard spacing of 3/8" between strings. The spacing on this guitar is about the same as an electric guitar. One thing I have noticed is that the relatively low string height and spacing, palm blocking is very easy and effective. It does have a fully adjustable bridge. When I got the guitar, this was a little out of adjustment on one of the strings causing some rattle when noting with the bar, so check this if you get one. The nut on the guitar is plastic, which is ok but a metal nut might add a little more sustain. The little guy actually plays and sounds pretty well once you get used to the scale and spacing. You might want to think about this if you have large hands or fingers...I'm small framed so it really doesn't bother me that much. The shorter scale does make a little more precision required to get the notes just right. It also makes some bar slants a little more touchy. The gig bag and legs are a nice addition to the guitar. Frankly, you couldn't buy the bag and legs for the cost of the whole setup. Mine has a couple of very very small scratches, one on the headstock and another on the chrome plate where the volume and tone controls are located, but frankly it's just not enough to be worth bothering with a return. When you buy a guitar in this price range, you can't really expect perfection. Overall, if you want a really cheap introduction to steel guitar, and like the legs, it's not a bad choice. At it's current price it will probably never lose over half it's value. I recently saw a used artisan (same guitar pretty much) sell for almost as much plus shipping. Why somebody would bid a cheap guitar new up to that, I don't know, but they will.

I couldn't wait for my Lap Steel to arrive only to be let down by the LOUSY ELECTRONICS,Severe loud Hum, Popping and Static sounds when touching any metal parts. Volume and Tone controls are weak and noisy.
Tuners are TRASH! They are loose and won't hold string tension. I've plugged this "DUST COLLECTOR" into and through all my amps using various cables and the same loud hum, popping and static sounds persists.
I am a musician of 42+ years and a Luthier. I know my instruments. If you are willing to take a chance on purchasing this Lap Steel be prepared to either send it back or replace the electronics yourself.
It's a roll of the dice on this product. I have bought many items from Musicians Friend and this is the first time I have been unhappy with any product I've gotten from them.

Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
For the price you can't beat it learn on this first then go buy something better. mine works and sounds ok don't need the legs like some other reviews talk about it is a lap steel?
Best Uses
Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
First the bad: the threaded leg studs are TERRIBLY finished on this and you can expect to cross-thread them and ruin the socket in the base of the guitar. Be prepared with a thread file and a few minutes to get them right. Other than that, this thing is a lot of fun, something different from just strumming away. You can swap out a couple high strings for heavier to get the tuning right (C7), watch a little UTube, and you're off and irritating the cat. For true hilarity, run it through a box (I like MetalX) with a volume pedal, guaranteed entertainment. For the money, it's hard to beat; decent bag, workable electronics, and useable, but wobbly legs.
Like any instrument in this price range, be prepared to fine tune some, and tighten any fastener you find.
Best Uses
Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
sounds good other than i can not tune number 1 string. The tuning key broke. It sounds good on the other 5. Change the tuning keys and strings and i would give 4 to 4 1/2 stars.
Best Uses
Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
If you want to find out if you like lap steel guitar and have someone available who knows how to set intonation and select string sizes for which ever tuning you want to use, this is a very economical way to start. I suggest starting with either C 6th. Or A 6th. because of the online information available for free.
There is zero instructions with the guitar.
I currently have 4 lap steel guitars, the cheapest one is this Rogue RLS-1 and my most expensive one cost 20 (twenty times as much).
I have seen several of these guitars and they vary considerably in the way they are set up. String sizes vary greatly. Tone of the pickups varies. Some pickups are noisy. Others are ok, but to me are better suited to a bluesy sound with amp overdriven.
My personal taste which is country and western swing, need a different tone. I replaced the pickup in mine and am happy with the sound.
The scale length was way too short on the one I received. The scale length measured 20.25" I Unstrung the guitar, removed the bridge, filled the screw holes with round toothpicks cut to length form the fat part of the toothpick, coated with Elmer's carpenter glue.
Then I positioned the bridge for 21' scale length, marked, and pilot drilled new holes, affixed the bridge, restrung the guitar, took an electronic tuner, tuned it then fine tuned the intonation where the octave was exactly on the twelfth fret for each string.
Now the notes are where they should be and I have a great sounding guitar with a very small investment and a couple hours of work.
Best Uses
Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
Know what you're buying and have reasonable expectations so you won't be disappointed when this arrives at your door. I had every intention on modifying this before buying so overall I was pleased with the outcome.
Pros: Easily modifiable with custom loaded DiMarzio pickguard. I also bought black classical tuners which were a direct fit.
Cons: Replace the pickup immediately as it extremely noisy and almost useless for any scenario. The tuners weren't very responsive so I replaced those.
Conclusion: With a little setup at the bridge, a pickup replacement, and tuner replacement, this guy is surprisingly a bang-for-your-buck deal. Remember--you really do get what you pay for in terms of quality. Do these mods and you're ready for anything.
Best Uses
Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
After reading all of the mixed reviews for this product, I finally decided to treat myself with an early birthday gift. I fear too many judge this instrument off of its cheap price point and non-major-name brand.
Other than having to tune the strings a little out of the box, I pretty much plug/played this baby with 0 effort.
I am a drummer/vocalist foremost, so maybe I lack a perfect ear for guitar tone, but imo it sounds wonderful through my little Line 6 Spider III clean/distorted/etc. I can crank it up pretty darn loud without hearing any damage to sound quality, so the comments on poor pickups/electronics may be an issue with that particular unit received or with the musician's ears/hands/brain...
The one knock I would put towards this instrument is that the legs-body sockets are pretty much a joke. Not a problem if you play a lap steel on your lap/a table.
The legs would make me give this a lower rating except for the fact that I am still playing the stock strings and the included gig bag is of high quality.
Bottom line: 5 star bang for your buck. You could play this thing professionally if you don't hold shame over what others might think about your less than a grand instrument brand name.

Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
Typical Rogue instrument, but very playable. Good for intro into an instrument you aren't familiar with. I have a Rogue mando and it helped me get to being a good mando player. Tuners work, but that seems to be their weakest part. This instrument would be easy to upgrade in the future

Comments about Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel Guitar with Stand and Gig Bag:
I wanted a 2nd Lap Steel for an alternate tuning. Although this is not near the quality of my 8 string Chandler, it is surprisingly solid. The strings were cheezy so i changed them right away. I haven't used the legs and probably won't because i prefer to set a Lap" steel on my Lap. This was quite a bargain, but just one of many that I have received through the company that really lives up to it's name ..Musician's Friend! My star rating takes into account the price. I was concerned as to where i would place it for easy access because it looked too narrow at the bottom for my single guitar stands and too wide at the top for my triple stand. Surprise, it fits the single by rocking the bottom fork so the the bottom of the guitar rest on one tine and the side of the guitar rest on the other tine, safe and secure.

Spurning the Cambodian government means pushing it into the arms of China. No one knows this better than Hun Sen, as his flippant response to America's threat to cut aid attests. (Basically: "Who cares? China will pick up the slack.) China is willing to give millions to Cambodia, and they, unlike the US, don't care if the government implements aid projects "thuggishly." Therefore, such cuts encourage the sort of human rights abuses that already taint the Hun Sen-led government's record. The US sees its presence in Cambodia as a paternal figure who incubates the human rights Cambodia's citizens crave. China, however, promises meteoric development -- make money first, ask questions later. The US needs to re-frame its presence, lest it be spurned itself.
See what was happening in the Middle East the ways the American are influencing them on human rights causing many unrests and civil wars. Hmmm, may be Hun Sen is right keeping Ammerica influence to a minimum. I think it is better off to leave Cambodian to develop at her own paces without outside interference. Cambodia had a civil war because of American influence on General Lon Nol to over thrown King Sihanouk. We don't need another civil wars. Stay out of Cambodian internal politic!!!!! America should worry about her own people. The way I see it America is heading toward oppression, slowly but surely. And King Obama is their leader. For example the American cyber surveillance her own people. At the air port security check points they are treating you like criminals, and racial profiling. During my business trip I got picked up for security checked (racial profiling) about three times while my white coworker pass through without a problem. Where is the human right?
A country with a tarnished human rights record aiding human rights projects in Cambodia (U.S.)? Or a country that has excused its terrible human rights record in the name of economic growth (China)?
It's a question of lesser evils, in many ways. The Cambodian government is extremely dependent on foreign aid already (and, yes, it's true that this is due to the civil unrest that was partially a result of American interference. "To leave Cambodia to develop at her own pace" has a nice ring to it, but if the US cuts funding and encourages the rest of the world to do the same, Cambodia's poor will suffer the cost.
The natural tendency of the Hun Sen government is to sell the land out from under the poor's feet. Its singular wish is self-preservation. Exerting influence through aid-giving ensures that human rights at least stay on the government's radar.
Though the recent election encourages us to think about a Cambodia whose people are no longer afraid to stand up for themselves, in the wake of that election many Cambodians seem to have retracted their support for governmental change -- the threat of instability, inherited from the civil war -- still has currency.
I say the US government should stay in Cambodia until a government emerges that it interested in maintaining and protecting the rights of its own people. Exerting an influence in human rights, however vague that term may be, is better than giving aid to develop a country according to raw, misplaced economic principles that grow the GDP but will leave thousands of Cambodians dispossessed. When a responsible Cambodian government emerges, then perhaps it can demand the kind of aid it deems fit -- in a perfect world, that would be less aid. But until then, it might as well receive aid from the country that at least pays lip service to human rights.
So all these talks about liberal democracy, freedom of the press, human rights are so much hog wash.......Yes we know all that from American history, the country that
1. Is the major cause of disappearance of the 200 North American tribes
2. Practises slave trade
3. Discriminates the colored
4. Regularly intervenes in other people affairs with devastating results to the local people
5.Caused the destabilisation of Cambodia and the subsequent take over by the Khmer Rouge. Guess how many people died after that?
5. Millions of Americans are destitute and 48 millions are on food stamps. But does the government cares?
6. Meanwhile BHO flies here and there like a Gull at enormous expebnse to tax payers
7. Detroit can go to the Dogs while the Administration squander billions in "foreign aid".
Is it any wonder why Uncle Sam reputation is "Bad"?
[When Mr Obama had his only meeting with Cambodian prime minister, Hun Sen, in Phnom Penh last year American spokesmen went out of their way to emphasise that the atmosphere was "tense", as Mr Obama harangued Mr Hun Sen about human-rights abuses in his country. The president's hard line is backed up by a vociferous lobby of American politicians, who demanded cuts in American aid if Cambodian elections were not "credible".]
Well, Hun Sen treated Obama well. If it were me, I would just turn my back on him, then fly to Beijing and extend my begging hands to President Xi.
So much about "cuts in American aid"!!! ;-D, ;-D, ;-D
I'm not surprise that American chooses Vietnam to be the new puppet to fight against China. Cambodia is a small country with no real power to bit their willing. Remember the Vietnam War spread to their neighboring countries (Cambodia and Laos). This might happen again if the Vietnamese choose to pick a fight with China.
Talking about Vietnam War, if it didn't happen Indochina would be at peace. The expansionist Vietcong had to invaded South Vietnam (used to be Cambodian territory until the French gave it up to the Viet) stealing Khmer land. Cambodia should learn from the past to not allow the Vietnamese immigrant on their soils occupying South Vietnam. So who was losing their territory? It was Cambodia that lost its ancient motherland. This is their tactics in their expansion southwards.
From WSJ, Hun Sen slams US threats over aid, saying that "Last time the U.S cut our aid, they were going to give us 100 old trucks. The Chinese saw this and gave us 257 trucks".
Sam Rainsy just commented on local newspaper today, saying that "China is our ally, so we strongly support China's territoral claims ... and all the islands, that China claims, belong to China" ...
Reading the wordings of Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy, my head spins and my penis erects immediately ... and I came to the thought that these Cambodia's political clowns should shut up or there's someone who will cement their mouths soon, maybe not now but at the right time.
What did you say.....Your head spins, your filthy organ erects, Hun Seng and Sam Rainsy are political clowns?
1. These people are elected by the Kampuchean people and they speaks on behalf of the Kampucheans. Who elected you to speak on their behalf? Even your Dog does not recognise you, much less elect you?
2. A leader must acts in the best interest of his country. If not he got no reason to be the leader of that country. Whose deal is sweeter? 100 old trucks or 257 new trucks?
3. What did Kampuchea loses when Sam Rainsy said "Kampuchea supports China's territory claims"?
4. Who is the politcal clown now?
It seems to me that you speak without thinking. You are not worthy of any leadership role in your country. Should you be a leader in your country, only disaster can befall!
If we learn more about the Vietnamese history, we will see Vietnam is always a powerful country. The small country had beaten Chinese invasion for over a thousand of years.
In Asian, I think only Vietnam can be an real ally with the U.S to fight China.
In Vietnamese's thinking, Americans are friends and Chinese always are foes.
Chinese are our comrades.
It was said that Ho, when comparing the different masters ruling VN, commented that he 'would rather kiss a Frenchman's ass than to be seated on the same table with the Chinese and be treated as a brother'
Wonder why the animosity and hate..when it was the French that completely altered the VN-mese writing system, effectively wiping out their culture and identity.
Cambodia thinks she can be an ally with China and gets financial support from China. In fact it is turning itself into a new colony for China. It stays in Asean but is willing to go against Asean's interest for China support. It does not have border with China thus does not have the historical experience of dealing with China empire like Vietnam. Just see how China companies & Chinese is dominating Cambodian life now & in future and soon feel sorry for choosing to side with China.
I believe that the political clowns in Phnom Penh should think more about the stability and interests of Cambodia and ASEAN ... if they want us to care about them. If not so, they're lonely dogs on the streets of Cambodia and ASEAN.

If you care to take a look at the map, you will find that Cambodia DOES have a border with Vietnam and HAD the historical experience of dealing with the Vietnamese empire not that many decade ago. If not for China's assistance, the Vietnamese would be dominating Cambodian life now and in the future.
Vietnam to its smaller and weaker neighbours is like China to Vietnam.
Cambodia(Khmer)has been China neighbor as long Veitnam was, probably even longer too. They didn't get swallowed up by China. Guess who tried to swallowed up Cambodia? Prior to the French Indochina South Vietnam was a part of Cambodia. Blame on the French who were blinded and gave South Vietnam to them. And let me ask you what the Vietnam war is all about? Land!!!! Their expansion southward taking part of Cambodian territory.
You know Vietnam played Russia for aids and support to fight America. And now they are playing America for support to fight China. So think about it.
Vietnam has been battling China for over a 1,000 years to maintain its independence even when it was forced to be a vassel state to China. The Vietnamese are tough and gave the PLA a bloody nose during the Chinese invasion of 1979. We should be quite happy to have Vietnam as an ally- a nation of 90 million, industrious and willing to let that nasty war be in the past and think of the present and future. There are three million ethnic Vietnamese in North America who can serve as bridges to Vietnam.

In a different era, Vietnam was just "a nation" of communist "gooks" to Uncleland.
Dear John Lone,
What do you mean Cambodia does not learn from our own mistake? Lon Nol, Prince Sarimatak and my father fought to bring Americans into Cambodia. We believed in America and her democracy. My father and the Prince paid for it with their lives, their family, and their nation! When Pol Pot sought out the peoples who supported Americans and killed them, where was Americans? When I was made into slave and barely survived the Khmer Rouge, where was Americans? SADLY, the only reason I am alive and Cambodia does not belong to Vietnam today is because the Chinese would not let them! Did Americans give King Sihanouk aids to fight the Vietnamese to free our country and rid of the Khmer Rouge? No! Americans gave aids to the Khmer Rouge, only a few pennies by the way, and all Americans cared about was to take revenge against the only peoples they lost their war to, the Vietnamese!
It is the other way around. Cambodia always wanted America, but we don't have want you want. President Obama, whom I volunteered to help put him in the white house, invited the Vietnamese premier into the white house, so we (yes I am now American) can position ourselves to fight the Chinese in water and on land. Once again, the Vietnamese will have to pay with their people's lives to fight the American proxy war and hopefully, Cambodia will not drag into this new war by being a friend to China. I know that this is my wishful thinking.
"When Pol Pot sought out the peoples who supported Americans and killed them, where was Americans"? Oh, yeah, Americans were busy selling guns to the foes of Polpot. But when the Vietnamese came to remove Polpot regime, Americans changed diplomatic stance to Polpot from "foe" to "friend" and gave him several pennies, as you said.
Suppose, VN allies with US to fight China. I guess that when the war is going on, US will abruptly change diplomatic stance to China from "foe" to "friend" and give China several pennies ... and VN will have to rush to the arms of the Russians and the Indians ...
It's the US - the snake oil salesman - the Texas cowboys.
If it wasn't for the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, Pol Pot would have been in power for a lot longer than what he was. Many Cambodians turn up their noses at the Vietnamese and I can understand why, but also, the Vietnamese deposed Pol Pot and therefore saved many lives. The real, yet silent, influence in Cambodia is Korean money flooding into the country as a hedge against the Chinese. Myanmar recently opened up because they tied themselves to China and realised the Chinese were going to take what they could in silence and leave them with nothing. Myanmar realised they need more influence than China. Cambodia will learn the same lesson if they get too close to China.
Thank you Bong Bros, I hope I didn't offend you with my views. I am not survivor of Khmer Rouge I am merely stating my views after studying Cambodian history and working there.
Cambodia is an opportunist in hoping ally with China so it could reclaim the lost land during Pre-French colonial era, but it does not learn from past (Pol Pot is ally with china nearly wipout the entire population of its own people under chinese direction). China treat its own people like dogs and what make you think chinese treat you any better? Don't you think it is better to work Vietnam, America, and International in the return of lost land in return for cambodian people support the return of Vietnam original lost lands (Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, and paracel islands? Cambodia is part of chinese chest game of divide and conquer and ASEAN has a chance to beat the chinese in its own game but Cambodia blew it! dummy never learn from its own mistake
vous êtes serieux .... guangxi et guangdong...pourquoi est ce que vous pensez les deux sont vietnamien, l'état des singes
vous êtes serieux .... guangxi et guangdong...pourquoi est ce que vous pensez les deux sont vietnamien, l'état des singes
From a Cambodian to all American who's reading this,
It took us decades to get where we are now. I'm not asking America for help, but please don't provoke the situation in Cambodia, not now, please. The U.S. is seen to give us millions of aid to Cambodia, but ask yourself if it is enough to restore what have been destroy during the 70s by the American, yet most Cambodian view American as friend and I am included. But please don't cross the line, using the pretext of promoting democracy in Cambodia. Clearly, if you're keep on allowing a few influential senators who hate CPP to continue provoking the situation here, American will repeat the same mistake it made in the 70s that led Cambodia into Khmer Rouge. I know deep down that American people does not support that, so please tell your senators to stay out of this. They're not promoting democracy but provoking anarchy.
Come on, please let's be honest. America never give a f#@& about Cambodia. America went in, nuke the place, left to the Khmer Rouge to commit genocide! Why? Because Cambodia is useless to America. Vietnam is a perfect port to park the ships and land the planes to fight China, and of course the Vietnamese know how to fight, they beat the Americans! Let's not pretend to talk about Human Right, It make me sick to hear Human Right used/abused!
The fact is Cambodia never give a damn about America, since Hun Sen just said that "if US cut our aid, so cut it. Don't talk too much", and "last time the US cut our aid, they were going to give us 100 old trucks. And China saw it and gave us 257 trucks plus a pregnant cow".
Sorry, we can't couple with the snake oil salesman to fight China, because I believe that when the fight is going on, the snake oil salesman shall change the diplomatic stance to China from foe to friend, selling guns to China and burying VN alive.

Less violence and more peaceful in Cambodia election, doesn't present fair election and justice, not even mention the so called near perfect neither. on the contrary, the Cambodia election not even got grade B; but C minus a bit hard to put in place, forget about A- for near perfect. The International community is one or few steps behind CPP playing field. The Hun Sen and CPP don't need to resort to the old method of slash and burn. The good organized network of voting manipulation already put in place since 2008 all set to activate. So whenever the number of votes up or down base on the census, then the group of CPP statisticians rolling to work. The method of modern fraud of Cambodian slogan used to say, " catch fishes without disturb the water". The International monitor will be having hard time to find a massive errors but only to see peaceful conduct. So bravo. time to go back home, right!

The legislation required to set up the government's planned personally controlled electronic health record (PCEHR) system passed parliament yesterday.
The Federal Government said that the system will bring the management of health records into the 21st century, and will provide life-saving information in emergencies.
The legislation passed the Senate with the support of the Coalition, despite concerns about privacy from some opposition senators.
The system aims to reduce the number of hospital admissions from medication errors, which equate to around 190,000 per year, as well as cutting down on medical errors because of inadequate patient information.
Australians' health records will be available online and protected by encrypted passwords.
The PCEHR system will be rolled out over time beginning on 1 July, although with less functionality at the beginning than was originally expected.
As it stands, patients will be able to register for an e-health record, but not much else. GPs won't get the software to upload patient details to the system until later this year, and there are other elements of the roll-out that are incomplete; for example, the National Authentication Service for Health (NASH) was supposed to be completed by the end of this month.
Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells raised concerns about the roll-out of the system, and sought a launch date from the government, particularly if a planned launch in Sydney on 2 July is still proceeding.
Labor Senator Jan McLucas said she had no information about the date, but said that the system is undergoing a final round of vigorous testing.
"We know this is a complex area of national reform," she said.
"I think Australians ... will be far more interested in getting a quality personally controlled electronic health record, rather than when there will be a launch."
People can register for the system by phone, or by going into Medicare.
The Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records Bill 2011 and the related Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2011 both passed the Senate with amendments.
The Bills now go to the governor-general for royal assent.

Oh, the joy of being owned by a small dog!
Bigger might be better to some but we think the best comes in small packages especially when it comes to that tiny canine. And, since you are here, we think you might agree.
Their small size makes them perfect for:
There is much to love about these little fur babies-- their playfulness, loyalty, love, and devotion to their owners and families, not to mention their intelligence, curiosity and spunk.
But any dog, big or small deserves not only your love and understanding, but also some work on your part. That is the purpose of Small Dog Place.

All are 22 pounds and lighter
But beyond that, there are so many ways they differ:
You will find everything you need as Small Dog Place grows; from helping you decide if dog ownership is right for you, to choosing a breed, finding the perfect dog, and then caring for them for the next decade or more. We hope you'll stay for awhile, discover, learn and interact with others who love small dogs too. Let me be your guide here at Small Dog Place.
Why me? You ask?
Well, I've raised a canine or two, (currently live with 15 small dogs).
I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember (over a half century), but dogs have always been my passion. (Oops, I think I might be giving my age away.)
Over the years not only have I loved them, but groomed them, trained them, cared for their health, and bred them. As a result, I've learned much about canine health, nutrition, genetics, pediatrics, grooming, and psychology just to mention a few areas.
I continue to learn more and more, but as I do, I find that the best lessons I've learned are from the dogs themselves.
Now, I wonder if I've learned more from them than they've learned from me.
Come join me on an the adventure of a lifetime—the joy of being owned and owning/loving a small breed dog.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Ligatures are possibly the funnest part of
setting type.
Anyway, I'm trying to flesh out FontClaire and
I've been inspired again by "Mrs Eaves" robust
set of ligatures.
What other faces have great ligature sets?
Joe, Mrs Eaves has some great ligs, but don't make the same mistake of going overboard: avoid monstrosities like that italic "py" at all costs...
Classica is a supreme example of how to do it, and I'd also mention Carter's Mantinia.
BTW, when directed properly, the design/use of ligs can also improve functionality, not just aesthetics.
About the "functionality" bit: You might consider letter pairs/sequences which are frequent, not just ligation-candidates based on looks/structure.
The 30 most frequent letter pairs in English are:
th he an in er re es on ea ti
at st en nd or to nt ed is ar
ou te of it ha se et al ri ng
The 20 in German:
en er ch de ge ei ei in ne nd
be el te un st di no ue se au
There are some letter combinations that are more common in the swedish language, like:
and probably more...
also I would imagine in
finnish = kk
dutch = oo
Is there similar combinations in other languages
that never or seldom appear in "english/american" ligature sets?
That's interesting Hrant,
do you know any url where one
could find more letter pairs for
other languages?
I guess if one would make a different ligature set
for different languages then English, German, Spanish and French would be the first choices?
Peter, is that list off the top of your head? If so, it's still helpful, thanks, but could you possibly find something official/methodical for Swedish? That would be great. And even more important than pairs would be word frequencies. All my own data comes from cryptographic and linguistic analysis, which I have access to thanks to UCLA. Except for the Polish data which I can thank Adam Twardoch for. I've been wanting to put it all up on my site, but...
BTW, here's an idea: Could we have some kind of repository here on Typophile, where people submit frequency lists (with info about the source)? That would be killer. I'd contribute whatever I had (as long as I find the time to type it in... Or maybe I can do OCR).
Ligature Style:
The difference comes from the fact that Thierry is an accomplished calligrapher. And although I'm not a big fan of calligraphy in type design, if tempered it results in some great ligatures, that's for sure. Yeah, some of them are pretty crazy, but remember that you never *have* to use a given ligature, but in any case each one is aesthetically superb. If you look at the "AA" in Mrs Eaves, for example, you can see it doesn't really "sit" very well. In terms of functionality, however, we could argue about which is better: constructed or painted ligatures. And of course that applies to type in general. I happen to think paint is for walls.
Linguistic Hierarchy:
In terms of Latinate writing systems, the main ones would be, in ~order: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, and after that I wouldn't try to guess. But note that you might consider this order to be somewhat moot, because, for example: there's less piracy in Germany than in general; on the web Dutch has a disproportionate presence; and other factors.
BTW, concerning "customizing" for languages, more important than ligatures would be spacing/kerning: it can have a very large effect on setting. For example, round-round shape-pairs have a very different frequency in English and French. And in English the word "the" is more common than fully *half* the letters of the alphabet, whereas since it's not as common in Spanish, you might sacrifice its spacing in favor of the "ate" string, for example.
OK, what if we start with this?:
The 100 most frequent words in English:
the of and to a in that is was he for it with as his on be at by I this had not are but from or have an they which one you were her all she there would their we him been has when who will more no if out so said what up its about into than them can only other new some could time these two may then do first any my now such like our over man me even most made after also did many before must through back years where much your way well down
Source: "Computational analysis of present-day American English", by Kucera and Francis, 1967.
Note: This is a "standard text" referred to by other linguistic analyses, like "Word frequencies in British and American English", Hofland and Johansson, 1982 - a very interesting comparative work.
And here's my offer:
For a given week where anybody else adds something, I'll add something else the following Monday. And if we don't want to limit this to "hard" data, we can just let people submit anything (like Peter's [assumedly] informal list), as long as declaring the "source" is taken seriously.
mmm, ligatures: Index by Josh Darden and Tim Glaser, specifically the Typographer's Set.
Jared, did you make Josh Darden's acquaintance while working with Hoefler? His body of work is extraordinary.
For those who haven't seen it, check out www.scanjam.com to see more of Darden's work. Index can be seen at www.garagefonts.com.
they where just from the top of my head. I will look & see if I can find actual fact on the subject.
And how could I forget Index....
I met Josh Darden at TypeCon in July. We sat in
the corner and watched the rest of the group
drink their beers. He is smart and very observant
- qualities that obviously contribute to his
excellent work. I'm told there is more to come.
Joshua's work is killer.
But Stephen, you don't drink? I think we should stop seeing each other.
Speaking of Mrs Eaves, check out this new (?) design by The Foundry:
To me it seems less poetic but more usable.
Wilson's been around for a couple years.
I tried to come up with a snappy retort to your
drinking inquiry, but I couldn't conjure anything
worthy of posting.
Stephen, please don't bother. It's already too late for you
and me - don't make it harder. Too much hasn't happened.
Peter and Hrant, those character
combinations are a valuable bit of information.
Mrs Eaves and Classica seem to take two
different approaches. Mrs Eaves tends to
connect characters while Classica likes to
share strokes... (I'm speaking in broad
generalities). Does the sharing of strokes
help or hinder readability? That lowercase "ir"
combo seems like a stretch.

Great idea, Hrant. As I've followed this thread, I was thinking the very same thing. Let's archive some of this stuff so others can refer to it.
Wow. Index is great. Like safflower handcuffs*.
A great example of ligatures appropriately
applied to a sans serif.
It seems like most sans just wouldn't seem
appropriate with the swashy, ornamentalism
that ligatures create. (Aside from the
necessary ff, ffi, ffl, etc.)
* Just practicing a ligature-capable vocabulary.

I never seen so many ligatures & swashes, it's like Christmas time in Ligatureworld
